“Brother! I have come to avenge you, Ichiwa de Kieryuu’s enemy!”
“Why are you repeating yourself…?”
Above the Town of Averell, a demon race, said to be the brother of Ichiwa de Kieryuu, had appeared. Just like Ichiwa, he bore the appearance of a dragon god.
However, the color of his scales was different. This one was silver.
“It’s important! You are the one who killed my brother, the Evil God!”
Evil God, huh? How cruel.
“This Jikai de Kieryuu shall take your life in place of my brother!”
“Oh, is that so? Go ahead and try.”
Jikai de Kieryuu spread his arms wide.
“WOOOOOOOOO!”
Light gathered in both of his arms. Was that the Battle Aura?
He was channeling natural energy into his arms.
“Take this! Dragon Head Shot!“
～～～～～～
Dragon Head Shot
→ A technique that concentrates Battle Aura in the hands and releases it. Named because the Battle Aura resembles a dragon’s head.
～～～～～～
He brought his hands together and shouted, “Wave…!”
The energy of the Battle Aura transformed into the shape of a dragon and was unleashed towards the Town of Averell.
BOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
“Brother, can you see? I have avenged you!”
“You haven’t avenged anything, though?”
“What did you say!?”
The dust cloud raised by the impact cleared. The Town of Averell was completely unscathed.
Not only was the interior of the outer wall untouched, but the wall itself bore not a single scratch.
“Oh, look! The Goddess Statue is moving just fine!”
A soft green light was emanating from the Goddess Statue, crafted in my likeness.
～～～～～～
Goddess Statue
→ A stone statue modeled after the Supreme God Nagano Mika. It activates the defense system when attacked.
～～～～～～
～～～～～～
Defense System LEVEL 1 [Barrier]
→ When attacked from outside, a barrier enveloping the town is instantly deployed. The energy for this barrier is drawn from the magic power of the Dragon Vein Area and the energy of the enemy’s attack.
～～～～～～
“What nonsense! You took a Dragon Head Shot and are unscathed!? What kind of barrier are you using!?”
“Sorry, but it’s a barrier that absorbs the opponent’s power.”
No matter how strong the attack, it would be absorbed and converted into energy for the barrier.
“That was a mistake! Take this! Dragon Head Machine Gun!“
He spread his arms wide and rapidly fired energy bullets in succession, like a machine gun.
But… too bad.
“As long as demons attack with energy, it all gets absorbed.”
Demons utilize a technique called Battle Aura, which instantly boosts their power. This Goddess Statue is equipped with a program specifically designed to absorb the opponent’s Battle Aura.
“To imbue such a complex magic into an item…”
Fubuki gasped in awe. Jikai de Kieryuu was panting heavily.
“Damn it! If that’s the case… I’ll attack directly! Gate!“
Jikai de Kieryuu activated the Gate.
“I will invade the barrier!”
I had anticipated this. Jikai de Kieryuu, who should have jumped into the Gate, emerged from the hole he entered.
“What is happening!? I should have used the Gate to enter the barrier!”
“Sorry, but you were expelled. I used Defense System Level 2.”
～～～～～～
Defense System LEVEL 2 [Forced Transfer]
→ If an enemy intrudes into the barrier or is deemed a threat due to misconduct within the barrier, they are forcibly transferred outside the barrier.
～～～～～～
“I knew demons would use the Gate to trespass.”
“How did you construct such a complex spell on a magic tool?”
“I used my power, the Omniscience skill.”
By using Let’s Become Familiars, I can freely grant the power I need.
The Goddess Statue is like a manifestation of me, the God. Thus, I can imbue even such complex and powerful abilities through an app.
“Now, do you understand, Jikai de Kieryuu? We have taken measures against your demon powers. Stop meddling with us and go home quietly.”
“Ugh! You underestimate me!”
“I’m not underestimating you; I’m just giving you a warning.”
After all, this demon is technically a relative of Dorako. I could easily erase him with Complete Deletion, but I won’t. I’ll give him a warning.
However, if he ignores it and continues to attack, I won’t hold back.
“Then I shall use my ultimate technique!”
Jikai de Kieryuu plunged his hand into his own heart.
“I shall… sacrifice my life! Activate! Ultimate Technique!”
A massive amount of Battle Aura erupted around Jikai de Kieryuu.
Pikyuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!
“W-What is this…? The eyes of the Goddess Statue are glowing…?”
Fubuki trembled in fear. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOG!
Fubuki slowly looked up.
The Goddess Statue was…
“It’s grown gigantic!?”
Just moments ago, it was only about 160 centimeters tall. Now, it had transformed into a towering giant, standing at ten meters!
“Double Dragon Head Shot!“
Jikai de Kieryuu unleashed a strike fueled by his life force.
A massive two-headed dragon, formed from Battle Aura, charged forward.
But.
The now-giant Goddess Statue thrust her right hand forward.
GRAB!
“Did you catch it!?”
With a crushing motion, the giant Goddess Statue obliterated the energy attack.
“W-What is that!? What in the world is that!?”
Fubuki grabbed my collar and shook me vigorously.
“Um… what is that?”
“You don’t know either!?”
“Um… wait, what is that…?”
The program was supposed to only include the barrier and forced transfer.
～～～～～～
Defense System LEVEL 3 [Giant Defense Robot – Mika rin]
→ A new defense system created by the Goddess Statue through self-learning. It absorbs the opponent’s energy, grows larger, and annihilates enemies.
～～～～～～
“It seems it learned on its own and created new abilities…”
“Is that even possible!?”
“Hey… I didn’t know that could happen…”
“Why don’t you know your own abilities!?”
Now, facing the giant Mika rin (a name I came up with), Jikai de Kieryuu was trembling in fear.
“Yikes! A monster!”
Jikai de Kieryuu attempted to flee. Well, it’s only natural to want to escape after having your life force-based attack blocked.
Retreating is a wise decision. However…
“You should have retreated a bit earlier.”
The giant Mika rin extended her arm and grabbed Jikai de Kieryuu. Then she lifted him high into the air and slammed him down towards the ground.
“GYAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!”
With a squish, Jikai de Kieryuu was smashed into the ground, utterly defeated.
“Ugh… I can’t… move…”
It seemed the Goddess Statue was in a similar state. She couldn’t move an inch from that spot.
“Even though she grew and moved, she is still just a Goddess Statue.”
Just like a Jizo statue. Well, Jizo statues don’t grow, though.
Outside the outer wall, the battered Jikai de Kieryuu lay defeated.
“Ugh… I can’t…”
He opened a Gate to escape, barely clinging to life.
Too bad.
“Welcome♡”
Before him stood… armed citizens of the Dead End Territory.
In their hands were the Legendary Weapons I had lent them. Trained in the Core Dungeon, these elite citizens had become powerful enough to rival monsters.
Grandpa Ushika, Grandma Sweeper, and the citizens who had grown to inhuman levels approached the battered Jikai de Kieryuu.
“H-Help me! Oh, God!”
Too bad. The God has decided not to help you.
“Alright, everyone. Do your thing.”
“Understood, Mika rin-sama!”
The citizens unleashed their weapons…
BAM!
CRACK!
CRUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
As I watched the fifty citizens mercilessly beat down the demon, Fubuki muttered in disbelief.
“Am I dreaming…? Humans are overwhelming demons…”
“Nope, this is reality, Fubuki.”
“I see… I should avoid angering the God from now on…”
Fubuki clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the Goddess Statue.
By the time he raised his head…
Jikai de Kieryuu had become as limp as a tattered rag, not moving even a fraction.
